What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
It is the first double buggy that is modular in the world. It can be transformed from single to tandem mode in seconds and can be used with car seats. It also comes with a large basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM testers were impressed with its clever one-handed folding and the clever mechanism used to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They found it not as agile as models equipped with larger wheels for rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair with 3 wheels should be comfortable for both baby and parent with a padded seat and hood that covers their heads. There are a variety of colours and fabrics as well as accessories available to suit your personal style. Some models have a lie-flat mode for newborns and most models have multiple positions that can recline. Some models are lightweight and can be used to lift them into the boot as well as up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, look out for extra features that make your journey more comfortable, such as soft suspension and a large basket. Certain models come with frames that expand in width to accommodate the second seating position. This makes them able to fit through narrow doorways and are also easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Some models have a clever standing fold which takes up less space for storage between uses, and some models even have a convenient rucksack to transport the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but some, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter and still feel comfortable enough for use in cities or in theme parks. Due to their evenly weight distribution they are also less difficult to maneuver around kerbs than other twin-seaters. Many are suitable from birth to four years old, and a few are able to be attached to car seats or carrycots to extend the lifespan of the seat.
Some even allow for a trio of children by adding a buggy board for mobile older children (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). While many manufacturers will specify the maximum weight for each seat and possibly the entire frame, it's impossible to know exactly how your child will develop before they reach toddlerhood.
You can determine whether a double 3 wheeler pushchair is the right one for you by testing it out. This allows you to observe how easy it is to use with two babies in. Ask the store if they're able to offer a demo or hire agreement to give you a better feel for a model.
Stability
If you're looking for a double pushchair three wheeler that can handle rough terrain as well as the main streets, check out the Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta. This side-by-side buggies comes with reclined seats that can be independently adjusted and front and rear suspension for a comfortable ride on uneven surfaces. It also comes with a large shopping basket and a simple two-gate opening bumper, making it great for parents who are on the move.
Another great option is the iCandy Geo 3, a compact and sleek city buggy. Its large pneumatic wheels (air-filled) are perfect for rough terrain, and its front wheel can swivel around 360 degrees or can be locked to steer in tight spaces. It can also be used to carry twins or a baby and a toddler (depending on the combination of seats and carrycots used) and can be used as a single, with the baby carrier attached to its frame, which expands in width.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a flexible option that can accommodate twins or toddlers, babies and even three kids by adding a board. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the seat.

Other models worth checking out include the Out n About Nipper V5 and the UPPAbaby Vista 2. The Out n About V5 is a popular choice among MFM testers because of its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as either a single or double-seat with a maximum weight of 15kg. The lockable swivel wheel and never-flat tyres in this stroller are perfect for walking off-road or jogging when your child is older.
The latter is a good choice if you're looking to buy an all-terrain bike that can handle long walks as well as rough terrain, including cobbles, grass and dirt tracks. Its massive 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheel are especially impressive and so is its excellent suspension to ensure smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair with three wheels can provide more stability than a four-wheeled model which makes it safer if you walk regularly in the countryside. Regular pushchairs have small wheels that are prone to becoming blocked by sticks, grass and mud. This makes them difficult for you to steer. On the other the other hand a double pushchair with three wheels has large back wheels that take up most of the space, so you're less likely to trip over anything.
All-terrain pushchairs, like the Roma Gemini, are a great option for anyone living in an area with lots of bumpy and rough terrain. This model is equipped with large, puncture-resistant all-terrain tires and a sturdy suspension that allows it to maneuver over any surface without issue. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is also capable of handling any terrain and is suitable for twins, a baby or toddlers with a 'PiggyBack Board' (sold separately).
The Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is another example of a good all-terrain stroller. The tyres with air filled tires allow you to jog with your child once they are old enough. These pushchairs can be larger and heavier to fold than standard models. They are best used for long walks on different terrains.

They'll also fold down to a compact size, so you can easily put them away in the car or under the stairs when they are not being used.
